COLUMBIA, S.C. — A South Carolina correctional officer has been accused of allowing an inmate to get attacked then lying about it.
Beverly Annette Bracey, 47, of Irmo was charged with misconduct in office for failing to intervene in the July 1 assault at Broad River Correctional Institution that “resulted in serious bodily injury,” according to the arrest warrant.
She also “willfully provided false, misleading, incomplete, deceitful and incorrect information in her documentation of the incident,” the warrent says.
The attack was between two inmates, said S.C. Department of Corrections spokeswoman Chrysti Shain.
After the incident, Bracey was fired, according to a news release from the department.
